Closed Beta Screenshots Leaked

#1 Edited by Dark_Lord_Spam (2577 posts) - 1 year, 30 days ago

Some unfortunately non-intelligent closed beta tester - perhaps not recognizing the prominent e-mail watermark plastered across their lovely album - has leaked a decently large collection of screens from the aforementioned beta. But just because they fucked up doesn't mean we can't profit!

These consist almost entirely of gameplay from an asura elementalist's POV, though there's one pretty awesome shot of what looks like the 1-15 sylvari zone. There's also pics of an updated version of the region of the Brand that you might remember from the 2010 convention demo. If you're worried about minor spoilers (especially for the asura story), avoid looking at either the top-right of the interface or the chat box. Enjoy!

Man, Asura look a bit weird.

Poor Scott Collins.

It's a pretty game. But I'm suffering from serious fantasy fatigue. It's too bad that The Secret World kinda sucked. I want something different!

@Maystack: I think when they have hair it makes them look even more odd.

Rejoice for Sylvari info on anything!

Don't care, still playing one as an engineer when it launches. I always roll dwarf, and they're as close as I'm likely to get.

@BiG_Weasel: I'll probably make an Asuran Warrior eventually, because the thought of a tiny dude with a huge sword is hilarious.
